One question as XP is going on the wife's side soon. On the KDE desktop in Suse can you open up a NTFS disk on the XP side like you do in Win98 fat32? Do you just change the file type from vfat to NTFS in fstab. Sounds to easy, am I hoping to much here
No, you have to tell the system that the NTFS partition is read only. Here's my /etc/fstab, note /dev/hda2; my ntfs partition where XP lives. (Don't copy it without changing it of course.) /dev/hda6 / reiserfs defaults 1 1 /dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0 /dev/dvd /media/dvd auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto noauto,user,sync 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs defaults,noauto 0 0 /dev/hda2 /windows/C ntfs ro,noauto,user,umask=022 0 2 /dev/hda5 swap swap pri=42 0 0
